Of course it's a good reason. Someone might want (a) to be unable to connect any of the "Internet of Things" devices that only support 2.4G, (b) to have their WiFi signal drop out when they wander too far for 5G to penetrate while 2.4G would keep them on-line. Netgear could have made discussions like this unnecessary if they had simply added a check box, "Turn off radio" for each band. :smileylol:
